Who do you guys bet with? I've been on sportingbet recently. It's not bad since I can easily fund the account with paypal.
I must admit that Tom Waterhouse has good ads but no paypal == no customer for me.
I also use paypal, so, i know the feeling man.
You want the absolute best odds possible though, even if there is a 0.05 difference, it can still matter heaps (take a look at this
calculator).
This is a little something i whipped up during the Europa league:
Take away from it what you will.
If you want variety
sportsbet certainly has it, the others don't have nearly as many games and options. The odds are fairly poor but the interface is nice. Free withdrawals and no hassle getting money in either.
Right now, i'm using
Bet365. It has an even larger variety and usually rhe odds are a bit better. I think this is because even though they're licensed in Australia, its pretty much a clone of their UK site and i guess you get better odds in the UK. I didn't know this untill i went to take money out but you only get one free withdrawal a month, the rest incur a pretty decent fee considering its wired from overseas (UK).
If you want the absolute best odds though, use
pinnacle sports. They have the lowest edge out of any bookmaker i've found. On the miraculous chance you become very successful and constantly win, they won't throw you out like most other bookmakers can and will (its in the contract you read, really, go check, "we reserve the right to close your account if it becomes unprofitable"). The variety is a little smaller. So are the betting options. You can't do weird bets like who will score the 5th corner or try guessing the exact score. It's mainly who will win (AKA 1x2).
These guys did a much more comprehensive review, averaging out a lot of matches, across a lot of sports and pinnacle came out ontop -

I had to sign up for a skrill/moneybookers account, wire money to that account (took like a week) and then log into skrill and send it to pinnacle. They also don't offer multibets very often, i like multi's, so thats a bit of a problem. They also don't usually offer draw no bet (aka if your chosen team doesn't win, they refund your bet) on soccer which i also find disappointing. Overall though, by far the best odds (usually - they tend to be more cluey than other bookmakers, so, if the odds are overpriced, they will be lower compared to most, these guys deal with millions a day according to
wikipedia).
You'd probably lose more than you win, well that's what I think.
This is true, even if it isn't personally true in your experience yet, you should act like its true anyway.
If you want to make money, i hear a job is a much better choice.
These guys hire actuaries to do their odds (as in the mathematical whizzes). All their odds are designed so they make a profit in the long run, regardless of which bets win or lose. Same with insurance companies and their acturaries, sure, they might have to pay out big claims every once and awhile but their prices are tipped so they always profit anyway. You won't beat these guys in the long run, its almost certain you wont anyway.
If you bet more than once every couple months (even once a month or something), i highly recommend you actually keep track of what you're spending. The betting comapnies dont want you reminded of how much you've lost and when. Thats why their betting history is so poor and doesn't have total profits, etc.
